Regardless of who's in charge we should be getting decent crowds for such a game.

I don't care if Coleman is in charge (I wish he wasn't!) but ill still go and support my Country.

We need all the support we can get at the moment.

Spot-on Sir. FAW needs what the politicos call a "root and branch" change. I'm still angry about not being able to get a ticket for that England game despite always watching the Borat fixtures. Lots I don't like about many aspects of modern football but I will always support my club and country no-matter what.

if i had a spare 30 quid i would buy something from the city shop, not waste it on watching wales. i said before. if wales were the best team in the world. and they qualified for rio. i wouldnt go. if city were in the champions league. or europa cup. i would be first on the plane, :ayatollah:

But if you go on e-ticketing and look at the canton the back of it is terible number hardly anything, will they be able to sell that many on the day to fill all that, i think not!-Time to buy your ticket to back the boys! :ayatollah:

.......and the FAW could fill the CCS if they did a simple, simple campaign of letting the kids in for £1. There is no excuse for empty seats for our national side. There was an interesting stat that I saw a few weeks back but please don't shoot me down if it's not entirely accurate - it's just to illustrate that football is actually twice as popular as rugby . WRU have around 45,000 registered players in Wales. FAW have around 80,000. We pack the Millennium out yet only get a League 1 turnout for the football. If the FAW did a ticket offer through the club centre's it would add volume. Do it through the parks teams and schools correctly and you would get a lot more people there. Have a great week y'all! :ayatollah:

Because im agenst modern football and i feel that every country should sell out.

If they charged reasonable prices then people would go but no one is going to pay more than £5 to watch that drab especially when the FAW dont even take it seriously themselves and employ people like Coleman.

£4 per fan, 60,000 fans = £240,000.

Better than

20,000 people at £10 = £200,000.

More through the gates they need but they'd rather try and rinse the public so therefore I'd rather spend my money on club football which I care more about. Im more likely these days to spend money in the CCFC shop than Welsh games.

i wont be spending 20 quid plus to watch the embarrassment and shambolic displays of attempted football with coleman, hartson and co. in charge..

also the whole welsh f.a.need a shake up and sort themselves out. plus the cheek to ask me for 20 or so quid just for the privilege of being able to buy home tickets! joke!

as we say each and every time, role on the next campaign.
